Scientists Are Baffled by Novak Djokovics COVID Cure Company

For weeks Novak Djokovic, the worlds number one tennis player, has been at the center of a media storm since the Australian government canceled his visa after he had initially been granted a medical exemption to play even though hes not vaccinated.
Djokovics anti-vaccine stance made him a hero in the anti-vaxxer community.
But on Wednesday, it emerged that Djokovic had in fact invested his own money in developing a cure for COVID-19, by investing in a Danish biotech company. While dozens of headlines echoed this claim, a quick look beneath the surface suggests that the company may not be all it appears.
According to Danish corporate filings, Djokovic and his wife Jelena, who has also posted conspiracy theories about COVID-19 on her social media accounts, purchased an 80% stake in QuantBiores, a Danish company run by a Serbian named Ivan Loncarevic, back in June 2020.
